A Lucky Man.

San Diego tCal) San DIegan. JULY.
For several days it has been mootcd
round. and indeed we published the state
ment, that Mr.. John Is. Boyd Of this city
had been 50 fortunate rs TO draw the nice
little sum of five thousand dollars In the
June drawing of The Louisiana State
Lottery, and all his old friends were re-
joiced ut Mr. Boyd's good luck, always
rcscrying the usual exclamation IF II is
true" To vindicate ourselves, and TO
give the public the information we have
interviewed Mr.. Boyd on the subject
Did you draw 81, 900 in The Louisiana
State Lottery, Mr.. Boyd2
did, on the one.twentieth OF ticket
No. 81, G5S.
What was the amountp
The second capital prize Of the lottery
on that drawing was 800 900. The TWEEN
tieth was S., 900
Did you get your money?
| did. in $50 gold pieces, with no delay
or bother.
Who acted as your bankerG
Wells, Fargo & Co., made the collec.
ton. Mt cost to me of S65.
Had you other tickets in the same draw
Ing?
Yes. One of them drew a small amount,
say 800, but it was fractional ticket and
did not yield largely.
Mr. Boyd placed part Of his winning
in real estate at once, as he Is an Old
timer, and in the abstract business for
Woolwine, Sprigg & Nerney, he knew as
well where to place II as these gentlemen
themselves. We are only too glad OF our
old friends good luck, ond to hear that
all was done by the Lottery people ON
the square. promptly and no growing.
The courts will have to decide whether
Kiowa county must help pay the m
dcbtedness of Edwards and Comanche
counties, from which territory was taken
to organize. This case is brought by
Edwards. II Kiowa loses, her burden
will be heavy-one, as she has her own
public buildings and bridges to care Tor.

SUPERNATURAL MELODY.
Strange Music Heard at Burial Serv-
ice--It Causes Mystery.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug 1S-A most re-
markable story, well authenticated, comes
from Banks county, concerning the burial
of the late DIR. A. ID. Chinault. He was
inferred at Wins burying ground near
Lula. After the grave had been prepared.
the corpse carried to it, and the funeral
rites performed, and the grave was just
about to be filled when strange noise
was heard that sounded like music from a
harp. The crowd was considerably agi
tated and general commotion followed.
No one knew what or where it was. To
some it appeared to be in the grave.
and to others in the trees. There is no
doubt about there being strange
noise heard, or one that will in all
probability never be explained this side
of eternity The Rey. G. ID. Carl.edge,
who was conducting the funeral rites. says
he did not hear the noise, as he is little
deaf, but noticed the congregation was
excited and that there was something
unusual operating upon the audience. Just
what caused the noise or what IL was IL
is highly probable will never be OK.

THE Tobacco Leaf says that "the
CHRONICLE is convinced that the Blair
bill was Puritan scheme to educate
the negroes"
That is not the way the CHRONICLE
stated the case. We charge that the
Blair bill is an excuse, pretext Tor
keeping the oppressive Yankee war
tariff in existence.
The negro is secondary considera-
ton with the Puritan except SO far as
his vote is concerned. The Tobacco
Leaf editor is no doubt convinced oil
the fact that Blair when he introduced
the bill declared to his radical breth-
eren that though they had made the
negro freeman, citizen and voter,
they lost their whole work by falling to
pass bill like his which would use
public money to educate every negro to
vote the radical ticket.
No Puritan was ever known to do ar
act Of dislnterested kindness and they
have never hesitated to tax the southern
people and then use the money fol
their own purposes. The Blair bill
bears fraud on its face emanating as i
does from such source. II the edito
OF the Leaf really thinks the people o
Tennessee ought to be taxed why doe
he not say so to the voters and not g
1t the thing indirectly by sngar-coatln
the tariff with all this Blair bill hum
bug?

REV. N. @. TAYLOR, father Of Gov.
r. L. Taylor, died at his home in East
Tennessee Friday morning, April 1st.
The American OF the End says oil
him: Our dispatches announce the
death OF Hon. N. g. Taylor, father oil
Gov. r. L. Taylor. The deceased was
remarkable man in many respects,
and in his younger days was one OF the
most prominent politicians in the State,
He was man Of superior abilities, and
one OF the finest stump orators in the
State in the day when Tennessee was
famous for oratory. He was a strong
Union Man when the war broke ou'
and has been strong Republican ever
since. He had many warm and devoted
friends in both parties, and his deatf
will recall many stirring "reminiscences
Of ante bellum political contests.

Tobacco Leaf; The CHRONICLE
talked a great deal in its last issue about
the infamous, diabolical Puritan Yam
KEGS depressing" the South with the
thieving tariff We would respectfully
suggest that there has never been a
time when there was any tariff LEVIED
on commerce between the States.
Manufacturing is as free to one section
as another, and because the South pos
sesses the raw material and better
climate she can manufacture cheaper
than the North. II she will go to
manufacturing in real dead earnest
she will everlastingly get away with
those dad gasted Yankees, and the "op-
preston" will be on the other side.
But, by the way, it seems to be again
necessary for us to inform our neigh
Dor that the Leaf does not favor high
protective tariff.
If the Leaf is opposed to protective
tariff why is it always found among the
advocates OF the tariff? The Leaf editor
ought to know that the South has palc
tribute for seventy-five years to thu
North, and the Leaf has never uttered
aword in favor OF reducing this taxation
The South asks no protection but thu
reduction of the tariff to standard
'for revenue only" Does the Leo
advocate this, or not?

THE editor OF the Tobacco Leaf admits
chat he cares little for either blood or
.creeds," and we think his readers had
arrived at that conclusion sometime
before he made the acknowledgement.
With no fixed views OF legitimate
legislation, but preierring to adopt such
sexpedients as the Blair bill; with NO
Gxed political faith, but content to
claim allegiance to democracy while
advocating the policy OF its opponents
with no faith in the great law OF nature
by which blood is transmitted, and with
NO creed of religious principles the
Lsaf is indeed waf on the EAST ocean
of circumstance.

The 1obacco Leaf editor harps upon
ttlae idea of Yankee Puritan superiority
,raud in "a recent issue mentions III
direct terms the proprietor OF the
CHRONICLE, who is Northern man,
aud the editor, who is Tennessean,
living together in harmony.
The truth Is the proprietor OF the
eCaRoNIcLE is native of New York
stlte territory owned by the Dutch, and
the people of which positively forbade
,Ghs saa6ing Of the Puritans among
them. A New Yorker rs no more q
Puritan nor Yankee than is citizen Of
Pennsylvania. Thus again the editor
OF tie Leaf shows that what he knows
of the early settlers of this country |:
nothing more than "a d--d barren
ideality,'' so to speak.

Your friend,
FRANK FRANCE

THE editor of the Leaf has trained his
thoughts so long in the Salvation Army
idea of political high morals and pro-
tectlve taxation that he stands in front
OF John Sherman and argues the politi-
cal necessity OF taxing white men to
educate the negro as the duty we owe
to God in his behalf. He necessarily
expects to raise most OF this money by
means OF tariff levied on the clothing
and household goods OF the Southern
people.
Hawthornes, "Blthdale Romance
contains this suggestion, which we COM
mend to the editor:
"No sagacious man will long retain
his sagacity If he lives exclusively among
reformers and progressive people with
out periodically returning into the set
tied system Of things, TO correct himself
by a new observation from that old
standpoint"
Or, as Watterson expresses it:
I'm other words, the poet, preacher
or reformer who soars, "as it were,
into the empyrean or any other space
should return time and again to III,
solid earth to determine just where hi
Explorations are carrying him."

A Sunday Morning Of Dis
aster and Distress.
SIGHTS AND SCENES.
An Estimate eff the Loss
ana Insurance.

A fire broke out at o'clock Sunday
morning in Doc. Owens shoemaker
shop, between Second and Commerce
streets. The first alarm was wrung
by young man named George
Cooper, and the flremen promptly
turned out. The firemen and men,
bers of the hook and ladder company
worked gallantly. The wind setting
in from the southwark drove the
flames out from the place where the
fire originated and drove il through
collection of cheap frame buildings,
which burned like finder until the
sparks from the raging sea of fire
ignited the large house of E. Click,
on Franklin street, which, not being
protected by iron window blinds,
took fire in the third story and
burned to the ground.
The cluster of Shanties in which the
fire originated we're built here during
the war and ought to have been burned
and paid for by the city ten years ago.
THIS is the second important fire that
has touched GAINESVILLE since the war,
and each reteaches the lesson that the
city authorities ought in all cases to
require building permits before parties
ARE allowed toput up cheap buildings
contiguous to and dangerous to the
property OF business men.
The firemen of GAINESVILLE, their
Chief, w. NJ. oKleeman, and every
member oil the Fire Company and
Hook and Ladder Company all did
splendid work. To their efforts alone
is the city indebted for the protection
OF the property west OF Dloch Bros
building-which would have involved
the destruction OF the property o.
Henry Frech, JOAN Hurst & Co.,
Wells property, the CHRONICLE Office,
: and all the property extending to the

: The loss is small when compared
with the area swept by the fire. The
chief losses are on Franklin street

the low grounds in the rear. 1t is be

have escaped the fire if sheet iron shut
